| Can anyone give me the virtues of SMT package castellations vs. no castellations with particular reference to the ruggedness and reliability of the solder joints? Any references or studies that you can point me to? Also, although I'm in favor of

| Recently, there has been an upsurge in the Pin Hole/Blow Hole problem in our wave soldering process. We are baking the PCBs for 2 Hrs. at 125 degree C. The Wave Soldering profile seems to be O.K. Still the problem is persistent. Can somebody hel

| Hope some of you out there can help me with this one. | I am getting feedback from our test department that they are showing opens on solder joints which have visually good wetting. The touch-up operators confirm that the joint looks good. All they

Gentlemen, Please consider that ionic testing is designed only for detecting ionic contaminants. Yes there are instances of non-ionic contaminants that cause premature circuit failure. However, more importantly the prevailing specs are less than adeq

Regardless of the technique used for the mounting pad shape or definition, isolation of the plated through hole [PTH] from the mounting pad is important. If the PTH is contained within the mounting pad, solder will wick down the PTH. The amount of

Hi Chrissie, This might be old news to you but I just wanted to make sure that you are aware of all the implications of BGA rework relative to the control of moisture-sensitive components. For example, you need to keep track of the total exposure t

We had a similar problem on the high impedance front end of a MOSFET amplifier a few years ago. If your situation is like ours, the issue is not what a consensus specification [like J-STD-001] defines as an upper limit, but what your product is defi
